...course this is not sport; its proper designation would be unpleasant for a Harvard man to write. If the practice, though wholly unjustifiable, helped Yale teams to win, it would seem like "squealing" for a Harvard man to suggest that it be discontinued. In view of the fact, however, that during the last six years Harvard has beaten Yale three times and tied her twice at football, and has won four out of the last seven annual series in baseball, and six races in succession at New London, it is evident that "rattling tactics" have not produced the effect desired...
...have pledged money for the Gymnasium be expected to automatically pay their pledges, without personal notices that they are due, and without full and entire justification for feeling that this is a project that is being seriously taken up and systematically put through? We do not wish to seem hyper-critical concerning the way this affair has been run so far, but at the same time we cannot help feeling that a committee that has collected a considerable amount of money from the student body for a given project, is under obligations to further that project to the best...

The weakness of Maine, however, made the team seem much better than it really was, many ragged ends being brought to light in the contest of the following week with Bates.

Nor did the team show much improvement against Williams...
